Chapter 772 Im not a janitor (1/2)

Liu Shan and Lin Hui nod their heads, but both men had a blank expression. If it had been someone else who spoke about Fate, they would have silenced the person.

As anyone who knows too much about Fate will use it to harm each member.

However, their situation here was different as this person is Xu Long.

Knowing each other had been a short time, but he is someone they consider to be a comrade then now a brother.

Seeing their response, Xu Long subconsciously nods his head like an old man.

He had his suspicion from the moment he set foot inside De L'amour. It had only been a handful of times. However, from careful observation, he noticed that the employees there gave off a strange vibe.

Each person seemed to be working on their own assignments, but he was sure that they were wary of him. They also paid careful attention when they walk around. It was like they were bodyguards rather than your average company workers.

Also, they don't act like coworkers. They made him feel like he had walked into a family-owned business instead of a cooperate one.

He noticed another thing, and it has been on his mind for a while now.

He looks at Liu Shan then to Lin Hui.

”If Liu Shan is the assistant, what does that make you? A janitor?”

He had to ask because every time he goes to De L'amour, he never sees Lin Hui. It was always outside that they would meet.

Not only that, but he also hasn't once seen a janitor in the company too.

With this in mind, he can only conclude that Lin Hui is the janitor. So, when he (Xu Long) pays a visit, he (Lin Hui), probably embarrassed about his position, would hide somewhere.

”*Cough. What the heck?! *Cough.”

Lin Hui chokes on his saliva and coughs multiple times at the man's assumption. He pats his chest to calm himself before sending a glare.

”Why would you assume I am the janitor? And even if I were, don't look down on janitors. They work harder than anyone else in a company.”

Not expecting this kind of response, Xu Long was shocked to the core. His eyes widen, and he covers his mouth with a muffled gasp.

”So I am correct then. You are a janitor. No wonder you said my floor was dirty. You clean for a living.”

”…”

Lin Hui's eyelids turned heavy like someone had taped them to keep him from opening his eyes. His expression was so dark that he clenches his fists to hold himself back. If he doesn't do this, he swore he would march right over to Xu Long and strangle the man to death.

Even he can't help but want to cut the man's head open and see what is making him think this way.

Oblivious to the grin look on Lin Hui's face, Xu Long moves his hand away from blocking his mouth. He places his palm on his chest and sighs deeply.

He puts on a serious yet pitiful expression as he stares at Lin Hui.

”Don't worry. Janitor or not, your secret is safe with me. I will never abandon a good friend like you.”

He gestures a fist pat on his chest and points to the man. His movement was as if saying, 'I got you.'

Lin Hui was once again dumbfounded. He had been sarcastic this entire time, but Xu Long didn't seem to grasp the picture at all.

Liu Shan's shoulders lightly tremble as he listened to the conversation. He presses his lips tightly together to keep himself from fighting with his inner demon.
